THE DOODLE DEMOCRACY"


The democratic party has been in
power in the United States several
years, and during that time more
outrages against liberty have been
committed than for the twenty years
previous, and the "kuklux" outrages
in the South since the war and the
murders for political reasons were
mostly committed by democrats.
Chicago at the time of the Hay
market riot was under a democratic
Mayor; New York has been under
democratic rule since the days of
Bill Tweed, we believe, and demo-
cratic Governor presides over New
Jersey, in which State the Union
Hill outrage occurred a few Sundays
ago. Yet this party has done moth
ing to put stop to such crimes and
outrages in the future, so far as we
know. 1t is the same party also
that upheld slavery in the South.
All of which goes to show that the
democratic party is not the party OF
liberty, notwithstanding it is cop.
posed to sumptuary laws that ves

HANGING NO REMEDY.

If capital insists on hanging men
for political utterances, as it does in
Chicago, what will it crave as pun
ishment for political acts? Will it
institute the stake, the rack. the
thumbscrew and other Christian
modes of convincing workingmen
that they had better lie still in the
frying pan? But consistency is not

A YANKE rs WARNING.
No Sin Forgiven Till the Penalty is
Paid

Prophetic warnings avail little,
but this should not deter the watch
man on the tower from sounding the
alarm. No nation in existence
stands so near a political volcano as
does America to-day. A million
historical preccdents are insufficient
to awaken thoughts of insecurity in
long established government or en-
joyed protection. The demands of
France for change in government
awakened no fear in the breasts of the
rulers. The power of England was
undisturbed by the declaration of
the Colonists. The shareholders
laughed at the agitators of abolition,
but the crash came and prophesies
of unclouded brain and unbedimmed
vision are history. When written
charters of liberty lose their power
of protection, and liberty is made
license for few, when law is inter
preted and justice measured by
wealth, the few considered, the many
ignored, when once the lethargy of
unthinking masses is thrown off and
slumber broken, when once their ne
cessities, their condition, their rights,
their humiliation is realized, then
their wrath exceeds in force the ava
lanche, the torrent, the maelstrom,
the earthquake, the volcano, and
conscience and judgment are as dead
as was once their fancied sense of Sc
curity. Seven men are indicted for
conspiracy" and convicted of "mur-
der y Guaranteed ''free speech"
and arrested in the exercise Of that
right. Constitutionally guaranteed
''free assembly" and dispersed by
officers of the law! Declared Sac
complies" and accessories" and the
principal unknown!
We suggest to the thoughtless that
''without the shedding of blood there
is no remission of sim" No sin was
ever forgiven but it's penalty will be
paid. We would warn you in the
language of one Of the condemned,
"You in your blindness think you
can stop the tidal wave of civilization
and human emancipation by placing
few policemen, a few Calling guns,
and some regiments of militia on the
shore-you think you can brighten
the rising waves back into the I'M
fathomablc depths, whence they have
arisen, by erecting a few gallows in
the perspective" We warn you that
if you hang these John Browns of
social liberty and freedom, their
ashes will yield a million more to lift
their banner from beneath your feet.
You cannot stay the incoming tide
OF truth" by gallows, gibbet or rack.
Does not history prove to you the
useIessness of such methods? Turn
back, abandon your false position of
PRIDE and power, tyranny and injus-
tee, and avert calamity the bounds
OF which are unknown. -Naugatuck

HARMONY.

There is a constant stream of ed
itorial goodness of heart running
through the labor papers of the
country. and the sweet refrain there
Of is Harmony. "Workingmen
must harmonize.' "You1l never
rucceed unless you stick together"
In union is strength" And so
Harmony is advocated with many
variations, and with all the earnest
!. ness sincere quill-drivers are capable
of.
Well, it will be necessary to harm
onize-to act together when there is
a common intelligence upon the la
Dor question. Until then it is just
| as well that the working people do
not harmonize, especially in politics.
he mere success of electing men to
fice would not alter economic con-
ditions for the better. TO beget
harmony from the either requires
~ bfe than the touching of the
ings; there must be proper condi-
ms first; each string must be prop
erly attuned; there must be order.
The sounding box may be there and
all the strings, but if they be not
properly organized, harmony is out
Of the question. Loose strings would
pot respond to the touch of the
ner.
he material for the coming VIC
ous labor party already exists,
the conditions for victory over
pitalism must first be developed,
Pd one of those conditions is organ

There was not an undisputed
equitable evidence produced against
the anarchists, to convince beyond a
doubt that they were implicated in
the throwing of that fatal bomb
which destroyed so many lives, and
for which, it seems now, they are
about to suffer an ignominious death
on the scaffold. Then, why, we ask,
should the anarchists be hanged for
that which was not, is not yet, clear
ly proven against them. Hanging
men for what they are not guilty of,
is a cowardly piece of business in any
free country. If the anarchists do
not get another trial Governor Ogles-
by should have soul and heart
large enough for executive clemency
where so much doubt is apparent

st. Paul Minnesota, has had the
experience of a meeting of working
men to protest against the judicial
murder of seven citizens contempla-
ted by the Chicago authorities. The
st. Paul GlObe says of it:
est. Paul has had its first experience
with a public meeting of anarchists. and
an exceedingly tame affair it was. There
were no indications of blood, thunder or
dynamite about it. Several hundred re-
spectacle looking persons belonging to
the trades assembly met in Turner hall
last night, gave respectful attention to
half dozen orators"
What in the world did the Globe
expect? Did it expect that trades
unionists would be anything but re-
spectable-looking or that they would
carry dynamite about with them or
shed blood? The Globe really seems
disappointed that there was no dis
turbance, but it explains matters by
saying further on that there were no
policemen in sight. Then who
should make a disturbance? '

Of the body, and found severe gun-shot
wound in the lower part of the left jaw,
just under the chin, which penetrated the
brain, causing death. No tracks of hu-

since astronomical records have been pre-
